Description

 DEVICE COMPRISING AN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE, ASSOCIATED USE AND METHOD OF USING SUCH A SET

TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a device for moderation and training in project or group work comprising a housing having an interior space, wherein the housing has at least three corners and at least three edges which connect the corners to each other and surround a surface segment. In the interior, cages are configured at least in each corner and / or at least in the edges and / or in grids adjacent to the surface segment, in each of which a permanent magnet is arranged captive and movable, so that all magnets can align depending on the polarization. The invention also relates to a kit comprising such apparatus as well as a use of such a kit and a method using this kit. State of the art

Such devices, although for purposes other than those described above, are known and used primarily in the toy industry. For example, plates are formed that hold each other thanks to the magnets, so that the children can use them to create assemblies that are intended to represent, for example, houses or other three-dimensional structures.

However, the present invention is not concerned with toys but with didactic tools for moderation, training, project and group work. For the process of brainstorming, for example, inputs from different participants are recorded, noted and presented in a certain way. Thus, keywords can be written on self-adhesive note papers and glued and placed on a board as desired, visually to affiliations display. From other publications, wall-sized electronic touch screen displays are known, on which information displayed there by users with a few simple steps enlarge or. reduce, move, supplement or delete. New information can be uploaded to the wall through tablets, smartphones or computers.

All of these aids are very limited and barely allow the presented information to be physically separated. Also no help is offered.

The US 2012/0258436 AI described at the outset components in the form of cubes, with the help of motor and cognitive abilities of subjects to be examined and monitored, for therapeutic purposes. For example, the subjects must simulate given bodies or solve other tasks using cubes printed on all sides. Based on the determined time to solve the task, the difficulty of the next task is determined. Presentation of the invention

It is the object of the present invention to provide auxiliaries of the type described above for moderation and training in project or group work, to which individual meanings in connection with the respective project or group work can be assigned and which are physically part of a work process - or combine overall results and let separate. They should also be able to have the respective results electronically recorded at desired times by a controller and to provide further information to the controller at desired times. It should be possible to assign meaning to the individual devices, wherein a structure of several such devices in turn can represent a meaning in the context of the desired work. The results should then be evaluated electronically by the control and in a suitable form can be represented. A further object of the present invention is to have information stored at desired times by further modules or instruments. The task also includes the description of the procedure in a corresponding method. In particular, a system comprising such aids and control should be able to provide assistance at a desired time. This should be done in particular in the form of a manual or a selection procedure.

The object is achieved by the features of the independent claims of each category of claims, which describe a set, a supplement to a set, a use of this set and a method of using this set. Further advantageous embodiments are specified in the subclaims. The supplementary device is a device described in the first claim, with which any existing set is arbitrarily expandable.

According to the invention, the housing of such a device mentioned at the beginning comprises an electronic device with a data memory on which at least one ID number is stored electronically. In addition, this device is provided with a switch which can be triggered by actuation of a user, and with a transmitter connected to the switch and the data storage transmitter with an antenna which wirelessly send at least the ID number to a controller on actuation of the switch and another Trigger process, for example, the device assigns a meaning in the context of project or group work.

By means of the switch, it is possible for the user to trigger a request for the time desired by him or to start a program in order to establish an assignment in the form of a meaning to this device. For example, it can be provided that the next photo taken with a camera connected to the controller is assigned to the corresponding device. Thus, certain persons, for example, decision makers of individual Areas of activity, to be assigned to individual devices. Or an input device in the form of a keyboard can capture meanings such as "web shop", "market stall" or "shop in shop" in order to assign different sales channels to individual devices.

The set according to the invention has a plurality of such devices as well as a controller which has wireless access to all data memories of all devices assigned to it and optionally to the measurement data acquired by these devices. In addition, the controller has access to a database that contains the ID numbers of all the devices assigned to it, as well as other data for these ID numbers.

The inventive set is suitable for use for moderation and training in connection with project and group work, as the individual devices information can be assigned and they can be put together into groups or structures, and there the resulting information of togetherness and causality by the controller can be processed into links with an internal logic. The result, depending on how the controller is programmed, may be a representation that displays certain information on a projection screen, or a plan such as a sequence plan, such as a project plan, that takes into account the instructions and sequence guidelines provided in the entity.

The inventive method describes a method for digitizing manually compiled specifications using such a set. In this case, two or more devices are arranged in a work process in a room with a controller and attached to each other by means of their magnets. Subsequently, at least one switch of a device is actuated, whereby at least the ID number of the device in question is transmitted to the controller. The controller accesses the database and retrieves data stored for the ID number of this device. Based on this data, the controller issues instructions to another electronic module to which it is connected. This may be the display of certain information on a display, for example, containing further instructions or first insights.

In a simple example, participants should organize the preparation of a meal, an omelette. A participant takes a first device and presses the switch. The controller records the device, for example, by the ID number 01 and recognizes that no data is yet stored for this purpose. It therefore prompts the user to give meaning to this device. This request can be made acoustically or by display on a display. The user takes a pen and describes the device with "dough", he also brings this information to the controller.This in turn can be done acoustically, whereby a speech recognition from it creates a corresponding text.On the other hand, an associated camera or video camera could be used Of course, the text can also be entered for example on a tablet, by means of a keyboard or handwritten, then processed by a text recognition.

Now, the device with the ID number 01 has the assignment or meaning "make dough" and a corresponding information is stored in the database at the ID number 01. Subsequently, the process is repeated, so that, for example, "baking dough", "filling Now, the individual work packages can be further refined by assigning each step in "make dough" to another device, for example "measuring dough ingredients", "mixing dough ingredients", "Stir dough" including "let dough rest". These individual devices can now be "made dough" with their permanent magnets to the first device, creating entities in three dimensions, and to electronically detect their affiliation, for example, the "make dough" switch can be pressed, followed by all the switches the associated devices, and finally followed and completed by press the first device again. Now the controller knows which devices are grouped together. This step can be further refined by re-grouping ingredients as a group into smaller individual packages that includes each individual ingredient, and after each group of participants populates their base plate with each task, there are several groups of equipment in the room Additional information can now be given to the controller if, for example, by voice instruction "make dough before dough" or "leave dough while preparing filling" is spoken after the corresponding switches have been actuated.

In parallel, the controller can display the information obtained, for example, graphically or in tabular form. In addition, other information may be provided to the controller, such as the duration of the individual activities, information on how many workers are needed for an activity and / or associated costs.

Depending on what kind of process is to be developed, the controller must be programmed accordingly, or the appropriate one should be selected from existing programs. The controller can evaluate the data, make calculations such as total costs, total time required, number of workers required etc. It can create corresponding project plans or graphs in the form of mind maps, or even architectural models, for example, if each device represents a kitchen element with specific masses whose order, spacing and alignment are entered accordingly, as well as linearized result logs, slide shows or web sites.

Invention according to the present invention is the two-way interaction between the user and the controller, which is made possible by the switch. As soon as the controller detects the signal from the switch, the device will go through recognizes the transmission of the ID number, they can give and / or receive instructions based on their known specifications. Since the transmission of the ID number requires only very little energy, the device usually runs without energy storage. The energy required for sending the ID number and possibly further data can, for example, be obtained from the environment or be generated by means of a piezoelectric crystal when pressed on the switch itself. This ensures a simple and inexpensive construction of the inventive device. The switch itself is preferably flat and does not protrude from the surface in which it is mounted. As a result, a second device according to the invention can be attached to the surface with the switch in a planar manner, without this triggering a signal. If the devices have Hall sensors which can detect the proximity of a further device, the actuation of the switch of the second device according to the invention additionally conveys the information that the first device is connected to it, as a result of which these two devices are detected as a group can. Depending on the program that is selected on the control for the respective project work, the actuation of a switch can trigger another function.

Ways to carry out the invention

FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 show various apparatuses 1 according to the invention, some of which are assembled into three-dimensional structures. Fig. 2 shows the interior of such a device 1 in section. Each of these devices 1 comprises a housing 2 with an interior space 3, wherein the housing 2 has at least three corners 4 and at least three edges 5, which connect the corners 4 with each other and surround a surface segment 6. In the interior 3 cages 7 are arranged at least in each corner 4 and / or at least in the edges 5 and / or in grids 19 adjacent to the surface segment, in each of which a permanent magnet 8 is arranged captive and movable, so that all magnets 8 each can align to polarization. Although here round magnets 8 are shown throughout, magnets 8 can be used in other forms, such as cylindrical. The cages 7 must be large enough to allow the necessary for the alignment mobility of the magnets 8. In addition, they can be made larger, so that a limited local displacement of the magnets 8 is allowed. This may be necessary if devices 1 are to be attached to their magnets 8, which have different magnet positions, for example, because a triangular-shaped device 1 is to be connected to a spherical segment-shaped device 1. Preferably, the cages 7 are lined with a damping material, such as felt, to prevent or reduce unwanted noise when moving the devices 1. According to the invention, the housing 2 comprises an electronic device 9 with a data memory 10, on which at least one ID number 11 is stored electronically, a switch 12 which can be triggered by actuation of a user, and with one with the switch 12 and the data memory 10 connected transmitter 13 with an antenna 14, which can send wirelessly at least the ID number 11 to a controller 15 upon actuation of the switch 12. In addition, this can trigger a further process, which assigns the device 1 a meaning in the context of project or group work.

Such an electronic device 9 can do without energy storage and is thus very inexpensive and easy to use. The ID number 11 is transmitted in the form of data 16 to the controller 15 which, upon receipt, responds according to what kind of program it is operating on. It can, according to the example mentioned, ask the user to transmit information about this device 1. The controller 15 stores corresponding information in a database 31 provided for this purpose. Further electronic modules 33 are used for the communication with the user, for example microphones and loudspeakers, if the communication is carried out acoustically and with speech recognition. Other possibilities for electronic modules 33 are screen and keyboard, a text recognition module, for example a touchscreen with pen or image processing or a camera or video camera.

The transmitter 13 of the electronic unit 9 can preferably also receive data 16 transmitted wirelessly from a controller 15 with the antenna 14 and forward it to the data memory 10 for storage. The switch 12 is operable by the user in various ways. Actuation by contact, capacitive, inductive, by pressing or by bringing it close to a region of a near-field signal has proven particularly suitable. The operation is particularly advantageous if it can bring energy to the transmitter 13, which is sufficient to transmit the required data 16 to the controller 15. In particular, the switch 12 may be provided with a piezoelectric Element 17 be equipped to generate the transmission energy needed to send the ID number 11. In Fig. 3, a possible embodiment is shown, in which the housing 2 is designed around the support to the piezoelectric element 17 around with reduced wall thickness as a membrane 2a. The energy applied to the element 17 by the user is converted into a voltage, which can then be used for the transmission of the data 16. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1, the switch 12 may include an RFID transponder 18 which may be activated by a near field transmitter, thereby triggering the switch 12. The energy introduced by the near field transmitter is also sufficient for the transmission of the ID number 11 to the controller 15. For all the examples mentioned, it is not necessary to provide an energy store. Additionally or alternatively, energy from radio waves from the environment may be used to transmit data. Because the device 1 comprises an electronic device 9, it has proven expedient to make the housing 2 watertight. Thus, the device 1 can be immersed in a bath when cleaning the surfaces, without it being damaged.

Another advantage of the device 1, when its corners 4 and edges 5 have phases or curves. Such devices 1 may abut at corners 4, edges 5 or surface segments 6 of a similar device 1 at different angles.

Another advantage is provided when magnets 8 are arranged in cages 7 of the device 1 in the interior 3 adjacent to the surface segment 6 in grids 19, preferably at regular grid intervals a of 0.5- 10cm, in particular of 5cm. This can not always be observed with devices 1, which have no rectangular or cuboid shape. Therefore, larger cages 7, in which the magnets 8 in limited masses can move, advantageous. In addition, a cage 7 is preferably arranged with a magnet 8 in the interior 3 behind the center of area 20 of the surface segment 6.

The devices 1 preferably have the shape of a rectangle, square, triangle, circle, trapezoid, rhombus, rhomboid, cuboid, cylinder, a pyramid, a tetrahedron, an octahedron, a spherical segment, a combination thereof or a part thereof. Platonic bodies of all kinds are more suitable than bodies with free forms. In particular, devices 1 are suitable, which are designed flat as a plate 21, so that the surface segment 6 is in each case a rear surface segment 22 of the same size and mirrored shape parallel opposite. All magnets 8, which are arranged in cages 7 in the interior 3 adjacent to the surface segment 6 in grids 19 and / or in the center of area 20, adjacent to the rear surface segment 22, so to speak, so that they act simultaneously in the directions of both surface segments 6, 22. Such plates 21, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, can be assembled in a variety of ways, including three-dimensional. In Fig. 4, four triangular plates 2 are held together in a pyramid. The electronic devices 9 are not shown for reasons of clarity.

According to the invention, the electronic device 9 of a device 1 can comprise a position sensor 23 which can detect the position of the device 1 with respect to the spatial coordinates x, y and z. As a result, it can be detected, for example, whether the plate 21 is or is located. Alternatively or additionally, the electronic device 9 may include one or more Hall magnetic sensors 24 or transceiver systems 25 for detecting and identifying nearby other devices 1 magnetically attached to this device 1. A Hall magnetic sensor 24 is preferably mounted as close as possible to each of the magnets 8, while the transmitter-receiver systems 25 are preferably arranged centrally between the grids. Suitable transceiver systems 25 are in particular NFC transponders / receivers. This bidirectional Communicating near field transmitters / receivers can also transmit energy to the receiver in addition to information. They also have an extended ID number, which includes, for example, the ID number 11 of their device 1 and also an indication of the position on this device 1, on which the relevant transceiver system 25 is arranged. In use, the transceiver system 25 may possibly detect several other transceiver systems 25 from neighboring devices 1, but with different signal strengths. When evaluating the signal strength can be taken into account, so that the exact arrangement of the adjacent device 1 relative to the own device 1 can be well detected. In the figures, the electrical connections to the sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 and to the transmitter-receiver systems 25 are shown only occasionally to ensure clarity.

Alternatively or additionally, the electronic device 9 may include an acceleration sensor 26 and / or a sound sensor 26. The sound sensor 26 may detect, for example, a knock on the surface segment 6. If all devices 1 attached to each other are picked up together and moved to another location, then the controller recognizes the group affiliation of all these devices 1 by the fact that their acceleration sensors react synchronously. The same applies to the simultaneous detection of knocking in all devices 1, which are connected to a group, if the knocking noises are well transferable.

In addition, or alternatively, the electronic device 9 of a device 1 may comprise a radio transmitter 28 which detects the measurement data 16 acquired by one or more sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 and / or the identities detected by one or more transceiver systems 25 11 near transmitter-receiver systems 25 to the controller 15 can send. This radio transmitter 28 may be the radio transmitter 13 with the antenna 14, with the ID number 11 to the Control 25 is transmitted, or it may be arranged for another radio transmitter 28.

In particular, in a device 1, which includes one or more Hall magnetic sensors 24 or transmitter-receiver systems 25, the switch 12 is able to cause on actuation that also data 16 are transmitted to the controller 15, the on Data storage 10 other recognized devices 1 are stored. Preferably, the electronic device 9 of such a device 1 also has an energy store 29 for feeding sensors 23, 24, 26, 27, transmitter-receiver systems 25, RFID transponders 18 and / or radio transmitters 13, 28. However, it should be noted in that it is sufficient for one device 1 to have such an energy store 29 per group, since the other devices 1 that are in direct or indirect contact with it can be fed with it. Preferably, the energy storage 29 is contactless charging. This makes it easier to build the housing 2 watertight. In addition, when charging not every device must be connected to a cable, it is enough to bring the near to the respective charging station.

FIG. 5 shows a set 30 according to the invention, which comprises a plurality of such devices 1 and a control 15 which is assigned to these devices 1. The controller 15 has wireless access to all data memories 10 of all their associated devices 1 and to the measured data 16 acquired by these devices 1, if these sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 and / or transmitter-receiver systems 25 comprise. In addition, the controller 15 has access to a database 31, which includes the ID numbers 11 of all their associated devices 1 and other data 16 to these ID numbers eleventh

This further data 16 may be information acquired by a user during the working process or information about the device 1, for example information about its shape, the number and arrangement of its magnets 8 and / or information about its sensors 23, 24, 26 , 27 and / or transceiver systems 25. At the beginning of the working process, the database 31 For example, to take the information that no data 16 are stored to this device 1.

If one or more electronic devices 9 of the devices 1 of the set 30 comprise one or more sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 and / or transmitter / receiver systems 25, the data 16 thus determined may also be transferable by means of radio to the controller 15 so that the controller 15 can create 16 lists and / or perform calculations based on the obtained measurement data. Alternatively, based on the obtained data and measurement data 16, the controller 15 can create three-dimensional models with bodies which represent the spatial arrangement of the devices 1 relative to one another. In particular, the controller 15 may thereupon create a model diagram 34 with internal logical contexts, such as a Scrum / Kanban board representation, a process plan, a project plan, a schedule, a development plan, a production plan, an organization chart, a SWOT matrix, a Value chain analysis or a sales plan. This depends on the software and its settings used for the set 30. Accordingly, the same set 30 can be used, for example, both for visualizing building parts and for creating a business plan.

The set 30 can be supplemented with a charging station 32, in which the energy storage 29 of the devices 1 can be charged. This charging station 32 may be in the form of a suitcase in which the devices 1 can be transported, and which can be connected to a mains connection during storage for charging the devices 1. Thus, the devices 1 can always be charged conveniently overnight to the am to be ready for action again the next day. The advantage of rechargeable energy stores 29 is that no batteries need to be changed during a work process. In addition, the housing 2 of the device 1 does not have to be opened thereby, which could reduce the watertightness of the housing. Together with a specially selected for the purpose of use or adapted software and suitable for the particular purpose electronic modules 33, which provided on the one hand for communication with the user and for the input of information, on the other hand, but also for the presentation of the intermediate results and final results are the set 30 a system that is operational according to the project. The electronic modules 33, for example loudspeakers, projectors, screens, tablets, graphics tablets, touch screens, keyboards, smartphones and / or microphones for the interactive input of data, may already be partially present in a seminar room and / or by the participants or moderators are provided. The software, which can be purchased separately, thus belongs, together with the electronic modules 33, to the finished system, but not to the set 30, which can also be purchased separately. In addition, individual devices 1 are offered separately as additional components to expand a set. For this reason alone protection is claimed for a single device 1.

Invention according to the set 30 should be used for moderation, training, project work or group work.

The kit 30 according to the invention can be used together with at least one electronic module 33 which is connected to the controller 15 of the set 30 in order to carry out a method for digitizing manually compiled presets. This method according to the invention comprises the following steps: (a) In a working process, two or more devices 1 are arranged in a room with a control 15 and fastened to one another by means of their magnets 8; (b) at least one switch 12 of a device 1 is actuated; (c) at least the ID number 11 of the relevant device 1 is sent to the controller

15 transmitted; (d) the controller 15 accesses the database 31 and retrieves data

16 from which are stored to the ID number 11 of this device 1; (e) (optional) the controller 15 gives instructions to the electronic module 33 on the basis of this data; (f) transmit the same or another electronic module 33 Information entered by the user to the controller 15; (g) the controller 15 digitally stores the received information in the database 31.

The instruction in step (e) to the electronic module 33 may, for example, consist only in that it tells a camera that the next photo should be sent immediately to the controller 15, or that it communicates with another module 33, for example a tablet that it is now his turn to send the next received information to the controller. If the process is kept very simple and only one device is available at a time, this step (e) can also be skipped. Preferably, several devices 1 are brought together, which hold together at their magnets 8, whereby a three-dimensional structure is formed before a switch 12 is actuated. For example, smaller cubes can be built from small devices 1, which in turn are surrounded by larger cubes of larger devices 1. In this way, togetherness in the form of integration can be illustrated. In particular, it is possible to work symbolically with the different sizes of the devices 1 if meaning is to be displayed.

In a preferred method, the controller 15 successively polls all devices 1 connected to it for data 16, which were acquired by all the sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 and transmitter-receiver systems 25 integrated there. It then assigns these data to the corresponding devices 1 and stores them in the database 31. Thus, a changed togetherness is automatically detected, the actuation of the switches on each device 1 is then possibly only needed to assign the device a name or meaning and / or to request help from the device. Such can be stored in software and include, for example, basic information on the procedure of the next steps. If the electronic units 9 of the devices 1 comprise transceiver systems 25 for detecting and identifying nearby other devices 1 magnetically attached to them, then both energy and information can be transmitted via respective nearby transceiver systems 25 several devices 1 are transported and returned. Finally, this collected amount of information coming from a plurality of devices 1 attached to each other in different stages is collected and transmitted to the controller 15. For this purpose, only a first of the devices 1 must have a power supply through an energy store 29. The other devices 1, up to a maximum of 8 devices in total, are sufficiently powered by the transceiver systems 25 so that the information can be collected.

Preferably, with the actuation of one of the switches 12 of the devices 1, the data 16 of the sensors 23, 24, 26, 27 integrated in the electronic device 9 and / or the transmitter-receiver systems 25 are transmitted to the controller 15. Preferably, upon receiving data 16 from one or more of the devices 1, the controller 15 evaluates this data 16 and, according to a specification, issues instructions to another electronic module 33 to which it is connected. Such an evaluation depends on the specification resp. from the chosen software. Accordingly, the results of the evaluations can be very divergent.

For example, the controller 15 acquires the spatial arrangements of the assembled devices 1, stores them and graphically displays them on a suitable module 33. Or, based on their obtained data 16 and on the basis of the information from the database 31, it creates further lists Calculation by, and / or creates an offer or plan, such as a business plan, project plan, process plan, blueprint, or scrum / kanban board presentation. FIG. 6 shows an example of such an evaluation. Using the example of the arrangement of the devices 1 of FIG. 5, the device with the number 1, according to the above-mentioned example of cooking an omelette, the "shopping" represent device 1 with the number 2 then represents the "making dough" and the " Bake dough ", device 1 with the number 4, the" filling "and the device 1 with the number 3 the" food ", which represents the end of the project Not visible behind the device 1 with the number 4, parallel to the device 1 with the number 2 could be another device 1, which represents "table cover". In this example, the time axis runs from left to right, transverse devices 1 symbolize intermediate results or final results, all processes that are in the same place on the time line also take place simultaneously. In Fig. 6 this example is visualized. It is obvious that such an example can be any more complex, for example, in organizing a wedding, a development project or Olympic Games. The advantage of the present invention is that the devices 1 have a feel, in contrast to virtual entities that are displayed on a display. The individual tasks can thus be touched, connected to each other and into each other and separated, recorded, brought to another table or in an adjoining room, for undisturbed, simultaneous and hierarchy-free work of the individual groups. In addition, the front and back of a device 1 can be labeled independently and thus allow more work opportunities. The visualization of the structures is particularly appealing because they can be connected three-dimensionally, representing different heights and volumes, thus representing a thickness. The participants or users can walk around the entities. Not all information opens up to the user at the same time, so a certain filter is set, but on the other hand also a focus on the devices 1, which appear while walking around just before one, while others disappear. In Fig. 7, a further advantage of the invention is described. It shows a device 1 suitable for sending and receiving energy and information both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. It therefore includes electronics with two connected NFC transponder / receiver 25, one of which is arranged horizontally or vertically. According to their orientation, they can transmit and receive energy and information in both spaces orthogonal to their surface orientations. If other devices 1 are now located in the vicinity of this device 1, in particular because they are attached directly or indirectly to their magnets, then energy and information can be transported via a plurality of NFC transponders / receivers 25. The first of these devices 1 is preferably inductive, again from an NFC transponder / receiver connected to a power supply such as a battery or mains.

Information can thus be queried and collected over several stages of different devices 1, so that finally at the push of a button, the total information about a whole group can be transmitted to the controller 15. Each requested NFC transponder / receiver 25 can not only provide information on which other NFC transponders / receivers 25 are nearby, ie in its reception range, but also provide an estimate of the distance to them due to the strength of the signal response. The controller 15 can determine and evaluate the spatial arrangement of the individual devices to each other based on all this information. Thus, groups as a whole can be detected and evaluated with the push of a button, as described in connection with FIG. 6. It turns out that with this method information from at least 2 or 3 to 8 devices 1, with sufficient supply and / or skillful arrangement of up to 12 or 15 devices 1 in a cascade can be collected. It is correspondingly more when lateral branches are added. As a further, not shown example devices 1 in the form of cuboids or cubes are called here, which are provided on all sides with at least one NFC transponder / receiver 25. When stacking, for example, eight such cuboid to a tower, all information can collect this cuboid and send together to the controller 15 by pressing a button. The side length of such devices 1 is irrelevant, as long as enough surface NFC transponder / receiver 25, which are internally connected to each other, are arranged on each surface segment. Since the range of the NFC transponder / receiver 25 is only a few centimeters, for example 7 cm wide, the devices 1 can be correspondingly small in size or equipped with the necessary number of NFC transponders / receivers 25.

In addition, it is very easy to specify a temporal sequence. Two objects connected by a simple connection, for example by a cord, each comprising an NFC transponder / receiver 25, and preferably a permanent magnet or a ferromagnet, may be identified as "first" and "after" and correspondingly in the database 31 with their ID - Number 11 deposited. If these objects are finally attached to two different groups, the controller can clearly see that the work of one group must be carried out "first" and that of the other group "afterwards". Such connected objects, not shown in the figures, can also be used with other devices to define sequences, hierarchies or internal structures. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
